Trees happier far than I
Which have the grace to heave your heads so high
And overlook those plains,
Grow till your branches kiss that lofty sky
Which her (sweet her) contains.
There make her know mine endless love, and pains,
And how these tears which from mine eyes do fall
Help you to rise so tall:
Her tell, as once I for her sake loved breath,
So for her sake I now court lingering death.
– William Drummond of Hawthornden (1616)
